I would like to take this time to congratulate the Penn State Christian Association o n th e work they have done in the past; especially the part they played in the orientation of the sophomore class. First of all they sponsored the hand-book, and second they dele gated counselors to specifically orientate the individual groups. These items which I have men tioned are the ones which I have been in a position to observe and know that they have been bene ficial to various organizations on the campus as well as student government. To an organization which is highly deserving of student sup port, I wish you success in your coming drive for financial aid.

FRIDAY,„ NOVEMBER 7, 1947 SU Group Studies PSCA Needs The official student union com mittee of the College headed by Mr. S. K. Hostetter recently ask ed the PSCA what quarters and facilities CA may need to carry out an effective program. This is a challenge to the CA. It is the duty of the association to study its present and future program needs and determine what physical facilities and equip ment it will require. In order to carry on this work effectively, a PSCA Student Union committee has been elected by the Board of Directors. Members of the committee are James Smith, chairman; John Henry Frizzell, C. Ray Carpenter, Gilma Olson, Patricia Babbit, Joanne Hobbs, Scott Rhodes, and Frank Richardson. Four immediate problems were presented when the committee held its first meeting on Oct. 29. First, when the Student Union Building is completed, should CA keep its present location in Old Main and still utilize the Student Union facilities? A second question was in re gard to whether CA should be come an actual part of the SU, working out its program where students would find the Associa tion more accessible. If this alternative were to be adopted, CA would require ade quate office space, a lounge, and possibly a room set apart for worship and meditation. Another plan would be to cam paign for a building of its own. The last alternative would be to 'have CA housed in a separate wing of a new chapel. The committee will hold its next meeting in 304 Old Main, 4 p.m., November 11. At that time it will draw up definite plans re garding the future home of the PSCA. PSCA Adds Commission On Creative Recreation Creative recreation, Commis sion VII, has been added to the list of CA activities for this year. Heading this commission are Sally Schleyer and Warren Myer. To date the commission has listed two outstanding activities. The first is a dancing club which is held in 405 Old Main from 8- 10 p.m. each Thursday. A class in handicrafts to be held in the Arts and Crafts on second Hoot home economics building each Tuesday afternoon will commence next week. Included in the work is leather craft, plastics, etc., and there is no charge for materials. Interest ed personnel should sign up for the project either at the Student Union or in 304 Old Main.
